I am student, by which I mean, I love learning. I am curious about everything. I am keen to find out why things are the way they and why people do what they do. I always want to try something new and explore the world. I am, sometimes, very adventurous . For example, I cycled 1000km from southern China to central China for 6 days, camping along the way at night. I also enjoy quiet time listening music and reading alone. I guess this is the balance I need, motion and quietness. I love cycling, swimming, fishing and Pingpong. One more thing needs to be mentioned, I can fix bikes, solve simple software computing problem and cut hair as well, in case you need me.

Teaching is learning twice. I was a kids & Teens teacher. I taught children from 3-18-year-old ESL. I was always struggling between language and knowledge, memorising and emotion, information and character, discipline and creativity. Every child,I believe, like a seed with the potential to grow up into trees provided sunshine and fertiliser, can become their holistic self, if provided love and care, in which, the teacher plays an important role.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people and explore local culture.
